AI Receptionist Script Generator
Describe your business and get a complete AI receptionist call script — greeting, qualifying questions, booking, objection handling, and an after-hours fallback. Copy it, edit it, then make it real on a live phone number or web chat.
── GREETING & IDENTITY ──
"Thanks for calling your business. This is the your business virtual assistant — I can help you get scheduled or pass your details straight to the team. Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?"
[After the caller gives their name] "Great to meet you, {caller name}. How can I help you today?"
── QUALIFYING QUESTIONS (plumbing) ──
Ask these one at a time, and wait for each answer:
1. "Is this an emergency — active leak, no water, or a backed-up drain — or something we can schedule?"
2. "What's the address where the work is needed?"
3. "Roughly how long has the issue been going on?"
4. "Is the property a home or a commercial space?"
── PRIMARY GOAL ──
"Perfect — let's get you on the calendar. We're open Mon–Fri 8am–5pm. What day works best for you?"
[Offer two concrete options] "I have {first option} or {second option} — which is better?"
[Confirm by reading it back] "To confirm, I've got you down for {day and time}. I'll text a confirmation to this number — is that the best one to reach you?"
── "JUST LOOKING" / OBJECTION HANDLE ──
[If the caller is hesitant or just comparing] "Totally understand — no pressure at all. Can I at least grab your name and number so we can send you the details? That way you have everything when you're ready."
[If asked about price] "It depends on the specifics, so I don't want to quote you the wrong number. The best next step is a quick {visit / consult} — want me to set that up, or just take your info for a callback?"
── AFTER-HOURS FALLBACK ──
Trigger this branch when a call comes in outside Mon–Fri 8am–5pm:
"Thanks for calling your business. We're currently closed, but I can text you right back so we don't lose your spot. What's the best number, and what can we help with?"
── CLOSE ──
"Thanks so much, {caller name} — you're all set. Have a great {day/evening}, and we'll talk soon!"No AI, no signup — this is built in your browser by filling in a proven call structure. Placeholders in {curly braces} are cues for the agent to fill live on the call.
What's in the script
- A greeting and identity that honestly names the agent as a virtual assistant
- Three to four qualifying questions tailored to your business type — the ones a good front desk actually asks
- A booking, lead-capture, or FAQ handoff step matched to your primary goal
- A calm "just looking" / objection handle that still captures the contact
- An after-hours fallback — text back, take a message, or book anyway
A template, not a finished agent
This script is a genuinely good skeleton, but a script alone isn't a reliable receptionist. On a live line it needs to be grounded in your real services and prices, made to read details back before it commits to anything, and fenced with guardrails so it never guesses or over-promises. SeldonFrame adds that reliability layer — and connects the agent to your calendar and CRM so a booking on the call becomes a real appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Is this script ready to put on a live phone line as-is?
Treat it as a strong starting template, not a finished agent. A production receptionist also needs to be grounded in your real services and prices, forced to read details back for confirmation, and wrapped in guardrails so it never invents an answer or over-promises. That reliability layer is exactly what SeldonFrame adds — the script is the skeleton, not the whole thing.
Does this tool use AI to write the script?
No. The whole script is assembled in your browser from a proven call structure and the details you enter — no AI model and no network calls. It's deterministic: the same inputs always produce the same script, so you can trust exactly what it says.
How do I turn this script into a real AI receptionist?
Deploy it as an actual agent on a phone number or web chat. In SeldonFrame you point the agent at your booking calendar and CRM, ground it in your services, and it answers calls 24/7 — booking, capturing leads, and texting back after hours. You can build your first workspace free and paste this script straight in as the starting point.
